So I have an app that runs on Kubernetes and uses managed load balancer. I am trying to add a custom domain to it. It turns out that I got the SSL for the subdomains working for my site but for the main domain,SSL is not present. Whenever I visit my main domain without any subdomain, it either throws an error and says connection refused or loads with http instead of https.

There could be a few reasons for this. Incorrect DNS settings, absence of a valid SSL certificate for your main domain, or configurations issues in your Kubernetes setup can cause this issue.
To resolve this, you’ll want to ensure that your DNS settings are correctly mapping your main domain to your DigitalOcean droplet’s IP, and that you have a valid SSL certificate for your main domain.
For detailed instructions on how to add an SSL certificate and for configuration with Kubernetes, you can check DigitalOcean’s Load Balancer documentation and the DNS management guide.
Hope that this helps!
